How do you know whe a friend is addicted to pills?

Answer 1

You really cant, everyone reacts differently to every different medication. Most people get very sleepy when they take Xanax, but that happens with many different medications. If you want to know, ask, if they want you to know they are on xanax, they will tell you, if not, its none of your business anyway.

Answer 2

Xanax is a prescribed medication, people often think they cannot become addicted or dependent, but this is far from the truth. So how do you know if you are addicted to Xanax? Symptoms of Xanax addiction can be physical, psychological, and behavioural and might include:

Excessive drowsiness 

Needing more of the drug to reach desired effect 

Loss of interest in normal activities 

Memory problems

Financial problems due to spending large amounts on the drug

Strong cravings for the drug 

It is important to note that there is a major difference between Xanax abuse and Xanax addiction. Xanax as a recreational drug has been used to increase the buzz feeling by mixing with alcohol or other drugs. People who abuse Xanax still have control over their lives, and are not dependent on the drug to live. On the other hand, Xanax addiction is when a person has become dependent both physically and psychologically. Xanax addiction also includes withdrawal effects if drug use has stopped, and struggles within their personal life, such as within relationships or financially.
